Mechanical Keyboard Sound Isn't That Simple
Figure 1: I couldn't think of a more literal way to represent this article if I tried... Looking back just a few years ago, there’s no doubt that the huge influx of people that joined the hobby at the peak of the COVID pandemic were drawn to keyboards by way of YouTube, TikTok, and other audio-visual content platforms. Even as the output from these content creators has waned in recent months, their collective impact and legacy on the keyboard hobby is rather firmly etched in the history books. As a result of all of their sound tests, build logs, and opinion videos, the message is clear to any new person joining the hobby: mechanical keyboards are all about the sound.

This is Ken from Zalman USA. I've read everyone's comments and have relayed them onto HQ.

I also agree that some of the marketing slogans here are pretty ridiculous, but again, HQ doesn't seem to run this by USA branch before trying to launch products here in USA.
If you have any quesitons, feel free to contact me.
Thank you

Thank you very much for your support. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. I will definitely make sure to relay any comments and questions regarding our products. As we are fairly new to this market, our keyboard does have special features such as marco programming built into the keyboard, so that no software is required and this includes programming mouse clicks as well.
I hope that the community will give our keyboard an honest try so that everyone can see for themselves.
Thank you very much.

What about the keycap profile, is it OEM or something else?
The manufacturer of this keyboard is actually Korean and the most I have been able to gather from the name is that it is "SKY...." (sorry, I can't read Korean). Regarding the keycap profile, I believe it is OEM.
Thank you
